Forecasts

Joueur Bresilien (9/4), Hidden Cargo (9/4), Beyond Conceit (3/1), Shantou Rock (7/1), Royal Hall (20/1), Zenafire (25/1), Sunday Royal (33/1), Altaayil (50/1), Celma Des Bois (100/1), Gask Ridge (150/1), Orchestrated (250/1), Ujagar (250/1)

Verdict

More competitive in terms of numbers than the opener, but not too many likely winners lurking. Beyond Conceit might be a horse to watch on a much delayed return to the racecourse, and it would be fascinating to know the reason for his three and a half year absence from the track. Royal Hall looks an interesting newcomer to UK shores for Gary Moore, and Joueur Bresilien might well be suited by dropping back to this trip, but the safest option is HIDDEN CARGO who ought to go close based upon what he's shown in each of his three starts so far, including when runner up last time on hurdles debut at Wincanton. 1. Hidden Cargo 2. Royal Hall 3. Shantou Rock
